THE HOUSE APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN PAINTED A
UNIFORM BLACK - NOT ONLY THE BOARDS, BUT
EVERY INCH OF THE EXTERIOR, THE PORCH, THE
TRIM, THE RAIN GUTTERS, EVEN THE WINDOWS
BLACK, FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. AND THAT CANNOT
BE POSSIBLE; IN THIS GUILELESS, GOOD-HEARTED
CORNER OF THE WORLD, NOT EVEN THE MOST
CRAZILY MISANTHROPIC BUILDER WOULD
TURN HIS HOUSE INTO ITS OWN SHADOW.
OR WOULD HE?
